Please tell Wayne County Executive
Robert Ficano, Community Living Services, PNC
Bank, and Fannie Mae to stop the eviction of
Jerome Jackson and offer a solution that will
that keeps Mr. Jackson in his home at a fair
monthly payment that reflects the current
value of his home and honors the agreement
where Mr. Jackson pays 15% of the new
mortgage.

I am asking you to immediately stop the
unjust eviction of Jerome Jackson, a
paraplegic man from Inkster, Michigan,
from a wheelchair accessible home built
specially for him in 2004. The stress
caused by the threat of eviction has weakened his immune
system and elevated his blood pressure,
leading to a risk of a stroke, according
to his doctors.

I further request that CLS, Wayne
County, PNC Bank, and Fannie Mae work
out a solution that keeps Mr. Jackson in
his home at a fair monthly payment that
reflects the current value of his home
and honors the agreement where Mr.
Jackson pays 15% of the new mortgage.

Community Living Services (CLS), an
agency of the Wayne County Health and
Human Services, placed Mr. Jackson in
his home with a promise to pay 85% of
his monthly mortgage, while he would pay
the remainder from his fixed monthly SSI
disability income. CLS also agreed
to subsidize electricity, heat, and
phone. The mortgage loan originator was
PNC Bank., who it sold the mortgage to
Fannie Mae.

Prior to 2004, Mr. Jackson lived in
Detroit in a rental unit subsidized by
CLS. He was thoroughly integrated
into his community and lived a full
social life. In an effort to save
money, CLS urged Mr. Jackson to purchase
a home in Inkster with significant
continuing financial support towards
monthly mortgage payment. A
wheelchair home in Detroit, where he had
resided for most of his life, would have
been most appropriate. However,
some caseworkers assigned to Mr. Jackson
objected to working in
Detroit, so he was asked to moved out of
Detroit.He finally ended up at a
home in Inkster, about 20 miles away
form his earlier home in downtown
Detroit.

In 2009, CLS stopped paying their share
of the monthly mortgage payment, and
causing PNC Bank and Fannie Mae to
foreclose on Mr, Jackson.

Fannie Mae has been controlled by the
taxpayers and voters since 2008, when it
was placed into receivership under the
Federal Housing Finance Agency, a U.S.
government institution, in order
to prevent the collapse of the U.S.
mortgage industry. We, the people,
now own Fannie Mae. It is time that Fannie Mae
implement policies that serve the
people, especially the most vulnerable
in our society.
